Game Station owner guilty of child molestation

Clayton, MO (KSDK) - A south St. Louis man has been found guilty of a variety of sex crimes against children, during trial in St. Louis County court.

42 year old Leland Beasley is already serving a massive federal prison term following his conviction last year in U.S. District Court on child pornography crimes. Last July, Beasley was sentenced to 290 years behind bars.

In the county case; Beasley was found guilty on multiple counts of child molestation, statutory sodomy, attempted statutory sodomy, and possession of child pornography. Sentencing is scheduled for August 24th.

Beasley is awaiting trial for similar crimes in the City of St. Louis and has an August 27th court date in that circuit.

Police say Beasley operated the Game Station Sector 19 store on Lemay Ferry Road and violated the victims who were between nine and fourteen years of age, between 2006 and 2009.

Investigators say some of the crimes took place at the business where Beasley hosted sleepover parties for the children, as well as other locations where the children were victimized.
